Overview

Bridging power outages for a server rack, the APC Smart-UPS supplies clean sine wave power to switches, servers and point of sale gear. SmartConnect and PowerChute software monitor it and shut equipment down safely.

Long runtime at light loads and clean output protect sensitive network equipment through short outages. Its special plug and weight make installation a planned job.

Who it's for

Small businesses and IT teams with rack mounted servers get managed, sine wave protection. Home users should choose a smaller tower UPS with a standard plug.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Pure sine wave output
  • Long runtime at light loads
  • Rack rails included
  • Graceful shutdown software
Cons
  • Needs NEMA L5-30 receptacle
  • Short runtime at full load

Performance notes

Runtime falls steeply as load rises, so a lightly loaded rack runs for hours while a full load lasts only minutes. Line interactive regulation corrects small voltage swings without draining the battery.
